QPSK, and 64 QAM) required for
the development and testing of RF
digital communications systems.
A built-in quadrature modulator
processes the I/Q input signals
to provide superior modulation
accuracy and stability over a
26 MHz RF bandwidth (13 MHz
baseband I/Q). In addition, internal
I/Q modulator calibration routines
generate precisely controlled and
repeatable signals that minimize
measurement errors.

Span 2 MHz

Excellent modulation
accuracy and stability
with internal I/Q
calibration
Perform highly repeatable and
precise digital measurements. Get
an error vector magnitude of better
than 2% rms for /4DQPSK signals,
a global phase error of 0.8 rms
for GMSK signals and a deviation
accuracy of 6.1 kHz for GFSK signals.
Execute an I/Q calibration over
the desired test frequencies to
maximize measurement accuracy
and repeatability. Upon completion,
the calibration results typically
remain valid for 30 days, when the
instrument is operated within 5 C
of the calibration temperature.

Coherent
carrier output
Simplify the coherent detection
of digital baseband signals. Using
the coherent carrier output as a
reference signal eliminates the
need for complex demodulation
techniques. The coherent carrier
output provides frequency and
phase information about the transmitted carrier, covering carrier
frequencies from 250 MHz to
maximum instrument frequency
with a 0 dBm (5 dB) output level.
